Join us for our 32nd annual Viking Golf Classic. A field of 36 teams will tee up at the Sudden Valley Golf & Country Club on Thursday, June 7, 2018 and Friday, June 8, 2018 in a five-person scramble. Teams are placed in a division by average team handicap with prizes for one-third of the field.

The tournament offers a Thursday practice round with a hosted cocktail party and horse race. Here’s how the horse race works: Players sign up as a two-person team (with combined handicap of no less than 17.) The competition is a process of elimination in which high scoring teams will drop out on each hole. The remaining teams continue playing with a win, place and show team determined on the last hole. There is no fee for this competition. To fit in your practice round and participate in the horse race, it’s recommended you schedule your practice tee time by noon. The horse race will begin at 5:30 p.m. sharp.

Friday’s festivities begin with a continental breakfast, complimentary practice balls, tee prizes for all participants, numerous on-course competitions, lunch “at the turn” and dinner with the awards banquet. All tournament proceeds benefit WWU student athletes. *Note: Registration is limited to the first 36 teams and will close on Tuesday, June 5, 2018.
